Sartorial Phil being cute with his Kelly Dépêche

A favourite bag that looks very good in this colour.
In a recent YouTube he does outline the shortcomings of the design for contemporary use: not large enough to take wider laptops; difficult to fit in anything other than slim items because of the, albeit bellowed, compartment style.
 
BEAUTIFUL! I really must add a wallet in matte exotic, which is probably as far as my budget can stretch.

Do you have any idea what colours are typically available?

It really depends on the store. I've seen a few in brown and blue. They are fairly rare in general but I there's a wierd trend that Singapore has the widest selection of exotics, not sure why. In SF I def know 100% there is a matte blue copernic wallet.
 
Thanks, I'm going to try and resist temptation for now as budgeting for impending PO bag and some RTW next spring, but will keep my eyes out.

The Calvi look incredible too, but I'd be nervous of having an item like that in exotic when it's quite a 'heavy traffic' item.

Oh to have a bottomless money stash!

If you had a bottomless money stash, it's likely that you would not get the same enjoyment and appreciation of the items you do have.

Yeah it sucks that he can’t use the bag for daily use because his laptop is too big.

He shouldn't have a problem fitting things like the sunglass case, even with the gussets if he stuffs the bag for a while and sends it to the spa. This bag is able to stand on its own in more rigid leathers and it is actually pretty roomy compared to some other bags in similar sizes (38 cm/14-15 inches). But his bag is starting to have the same issues as that burgundy epsom bag available at collector square. The leather softened with time and the structure of the bag has collapsed a bit, maybe it has been squeezed in storage or something.

The color combo is really beautiful, is it the same as Filippo Fiora's kelly a depeche?

I really wish they would make this bag agian, or maybe an updated version.

I don't think they stopped production of this briefcase but they are hard to come across. I believe they are push items and my local shop received one last year. Sadly the colour, leather and hardware colour didn't work for me at all so I declined it. My SA said that they have seen only a handful over the past five years.

They didn’t stop production. It’s available via SO. This one is brand new from a reseller

You guys are right. I was told when I asked around last year that it could be ordered (this was at FSH) but that it would take a "very long" time so I couldn't be bothered when I was looking at a pre owned one at the same time. I didn't know they still hit stores regularly though still that would be more interesting. :D
 
As shoulder straps are now so widely used it is a shame that Hermes does not use the double ring handle fixing now found on the Kelly handbags.
I have a shoulder strap I can use on my K SaD; it is useful sometimes but i would not use it for extended period or when the contents is a bit heavy, for fear of damaging the leather where the handle attaches.
